I was taught this song in 4th grade chorus. This anthem has always been one of my favorites, right along with SARAFINA!! I love the tonal patterns of the Xousa (sp?) and other tribes.
Shaka Zula remians one of my fav movies and Gum Boot Dance RULES!!
Ok - thats it for my S. African cultural experience.

Thanks, Stephen, for remembering and reminding! we may never forget the sacrifices of the children on that day. And in a surreal way they are still paying the sacrifice in the neo-liberal economics of the current South African State. It is sad than people can easily ignore the sacrifice of the Lost Generation.

PS. I hope this comment appears. I have a very bad connection in Milondo.
